There are two individual practical works:
Analysis of manual transmission
Analysis of automated transmission
During lectures there are two individual works and control work with equal weight.
It is mandatory to have at least fifty one percent score at each work and deadlines have to be met.
All works build up a portfolio which gives sixty percent of final grade and rest is its discussion and self evaluation.
